A baby, funeral and wedding
- My newest nephew was born August 26th
- My bestie had her bachelorette party and got married to a wonderful man
- We sold our house and moved to a new one
- We attended a funeral in Utah
First things first, my SIL opted for the correct way to have a kiddo and didn't find out the sex! She was induced on August 26th and after anxiously waiting all day, by BIL sent this cryptic text saying the baby was here but didn't say if it was a boy or girl. After a few more minutes, he came out to tell everyone in person that they had a BOY!!! Since it's been so long since I've posted, this precious boy is already 3 months old and going great. I know Little Man is going to love growing up with a boy cousin!
Next, we decided to put our house on the market for various reasons in early August and the weekend that my bestie had her bachelorette party, we got 2 offers. To celebrate the upcoming nuptials (and secretly celebrate our 2 offers), I proceeded to get rip-roaring drunk and ended the night (after watching a drag show at The Rose Room) by crawling into the hotel room. Needless to say, we all had a GREAT time; the next morning, however, was not great. 30 is hard.
This next part will be a little hard. Some of you might remember Husband's best friend, Kyler, from college. The word friend doesn't do justice when someone is closer than a brother. On September 17, 2011, Kyler Hal Hansen was killed in a car accident in Utah. Words cannot describe the pain Kyler's death has brought to everyone who loved him. He has left a hole that will never be filled and a sadness that washes over your entire body at the most unexpected times. I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts on paper with this one so I'll leave you with a memory from SIL's wedding.

Escape Artist
Saturday afternoon I put the Boy down for a nap and sat down ready to relax but couldn't find the remote. The Boy likes to take the remote at any and all possible times so I started searching for it and ran into him coming out of his bathroom (note that the toilet paper had been completely unrolled and he was holding his toothbrush and grinning like a nut). With a sinking feeling washing over me, we walked back into his room and I explained that he needed to take a nap and needed to stay in his crib. I put him back down and stayed there a minute to make sure he was laying down. I closed the door and briskly walked to my bedroom to grab the monitor...this probably takes about 30 seconds. By the time I turned on the monitor, I see a little head walking by and hear him banging on the door to get out. Needless to say, there was no afternoon nap that day. Sunday morning came bright and early at 5:00 AM with my escape artist yelling down the hall after climbing out of the crib and finding himself blocked in the hallway by a gate.
Thankfully, on Sunday afternoon, my mom and dad came over (Husband was out of town for this) and helped me figure out how to put the mattress directly on the floor in the crib so try as he might, the Boy cannot find a way to get out...yet.
